The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Things in the world are such coincidences!

Just when Kira finished saying this, an exclamation suddenly came from the "Winter Hot Spring Hotel".

"Help!!!"

This was the voice of a young woman. It was very miserable and loud. Her owner must have seen something terrible, or was facing a life-or-death crisis. The cry for help echoed throughout the hot spring hotel, interrupting everyone's chat.

Kira even thought for a moment that she had gone to the wrong set and suspected that this was a chapter of "The Murder at the Winter Hot Spring Hotel".

But obviously not!

"Huh? It seems like someone is shouting for help..."

"I heard it too."

"Want to take a look?"

"When did you become so brave and compassionate?"

Before anyone could say anything sarcastic, the noisy footsteps became louder and closer.

Eric had the sharpest ears and was the first to hear the movement outside: "It seems that some magicians are catching a little girl, and they are coming this way, right?"

Three seconds later, a girl with long emerald hair and a bathrobe rushed into the men's bath.

Everyone was surprised at the same time: "Eh?!!"

After seeing the scene in the bathroom clearly, the girl's face turned red. But before she could react, a huge force broke through the door from behind her. Regardless of her shyness, the girl jumped directly into the water with a plop. .

At the same time, three figures walked in from the gaping hole in the bathtub: a muscular old man, a brown-skinned young man, and a fat man two meters tall.

The fat man looked around, obviously looking for the girl who had just come in. But when he saw no one, he looked confused, scratched his head and said to himself: "That's strange, where is the person? I just saw her entering here." …”

The strong old man looked down at the ripples on the water and coldly ordered: "Go and have a look in the water!"

The fat man obviously couldn't understand what he said, so he just asked: "Huh? But this is the men's bathroom, she shouldn't be in it, right?"

Kira and the others looked at each other, and the same voice flashed through their minds: It seems like this is an idiot...

"Shut up! Do as I say!!"

"oh!"

The fat man responded and took two steps forward. The whole hotel was shaking as he walked with his body weighing several hundred kilograms. Kira could clearly feel that the hot spring water was beating under the vibration.

But the fat man stopped before entering the water because he encountered an obstacle: "Boy, get out of my way!"

The person who blocked the fat man was Jellal, who was in a bad mood at this time. In fact, he had been sitting in the water without moving, but the fat man was obviously too lazy to take a detour, so he walked straight over and wanted to enter the water from here, which made Jellal angry.

I shouldn't have come to the hot springs today!

"Get away!"

From this tone, Kira knew that Jellal was already angry.

"What did you say?!" The fat man was furious when he heard this. He raised his right foot and stepped on Jellal's blue head.

But how could Jellal suffer? With just a "crash", he disappeared from the water, and appeared next to the fat man with a towel wrapped around his lower body. Then he punched him in the waist, sending the fat man flying straight away.

"Damn it! You kid... let's go together!"

The strong man yelled angrily, and the three of them went up to deal with Jellal. Jellal was not afraid at all, and he didn't even use magic. He only relied on physical skills to beat the opponent to the point where he couldn't find his way. His movements were fast and his strikes were ruthless. This directly surprised Kira's onlookers.

"Is this guy like this today? So angry?"

Eric glanced at Kira: "What's wrong...you can act as if nothing happened in a serious manner? You are worthy of being the boss!"

"What happened over there?" Urrutiya's voice came from the chat channel.

Kira explained enthusiastically: "Three big men chased the girl into the men's bath, and a shirtless man stepped forward, beating three of them without losing! Do you want to watch it?"

There was silence for a moment and then replied: "No need."

The three guys who appeared out of nowhere were also magicians, but their strength was definitely not able to withstand Jellal, who was in a bad mood. They were beaten to the ground in less than a minute.

While they were fighting, the girl from before had quietly floated ashore from the other side. She was originally planning to go around and escape, but she didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.

She was wet and froze at the door, staring blankly at the three pursuers falling to the ground one after another. She didn't react until Jellal approached and bowed shyly to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your help!"

"No...you're welcome!" Jellal turned his head, "Who are they? Why are they chasing you?"

The girl explained: "They are killers sent by the mercenary guild. Someone is eyeing my family's property, so they were sent to kidnap me..."

Three minutes later, the people from the hotel left with the girl and three mercenaries, and then the meeting resumed.

"That girl is lying!" An Ye was the first to speak. He was keenly aware that the girl's words were evasive and she seemed to be hiding something.

Sawyer continued: "The guild emblems on those three people belong to a well-known dark guild. I have dealt with them before and often took on some kidnapping and extortion missions."

Jellal nodded and said: "In other words, the kidnapping should be true. At least it is not a drama about the eldest lady running away from the consortium, nor is it a farce specially staged for us. When such a thing happens, the girl will have some influence on us. The precautions taken are normal."

"She is the only daughter of King Fiore, the heir to the future kingdom, and the heroine in our previous topic, Princess Emerald!"

Kira's words shocked the others, and then their expressions became incomprehensible: "Is it her? Didn't Jellal just..."

Several people looked at Jellal and saw him covering his head with regret on his face: "Stop talking!! Kira, you already knew her identity, but didn't tell her on purpose?"

Jellal regrets it very much now, very much!

Kira refused to admit it. He spread his hands and said: "You went up too fast, and I couldn't hold you back! Besides, the other person is such an important person, who knew you didn't know him? I thought you were listening. As I said before, I am anxious to be a hero and save the beauty..."

"She is from the royal family, so it's only normal that we don't know her, right?"

"Who said that? Eric knows him, right?"

"Know!" Eric nodded, but he did not completely agree with Kira, "I just heard it with magic, but I didn't know it before! So only Kira knew it from the beginning!"

After failing to share the blame, Kira immediately changed the subject: "Anyway, now that Jellal has helped the Emerald Princess when she was in crisis, it has gained her favor. It will be much easier to fall in love with her in the future!"

As expected, Jellal forgot to investigate Kira's evil intentions: "Wait!! Since 'we' saved her, it should be considered a favor, right? Can't we use this to request exemption from wanted arrest?"

"It's not us! It's you!" Kira corrected Jellal, "You were the only one who took action, so it's likely that you were the only one who made the save, but you wouldn't do such a thing as abandoning your companions, would you?"

Jellal almost spat out the words "It's none of my business": "Just now you asked me to sell my sex, now you know that I am a companion?"

"Although I heard that this princess's IQ is not very good, judging from her appearance, she should come here to soak in the hot springs. She was kidnapped when she came out to relax, and then she happened to be rescued by you, a wanted criminal. Then you He asked her to repay his favor and ask her to exempt him from the wanted order... All these developments sound like they were specially arranged!"

Jellal's blood welled up in his heart, and he almost suffered internal injuries from anger.

Seeing his aggrieved look, Eric said sarcastically: "Although I really want to agree with what you said, your expression really deserves a beating, Kira!"

"Call me boss! Let's get to the point. Kidnapping a princess is no small matter. Even the most vicious dark guild in the magic world today would not dare to take action without enough confidence."

Kira stopped teasing Jellal and turned to ask Eric, "Aside from the identity of the Emerald Princess, did you hear the purpose of the three kidnappers?"

This is not the daughter of a certain railway consortium, but the real princess of the kingdom and the heir to the king! To take action is to become an enemy of the kingdom, which is considered a national war! How dare a mere dark guild do this?

"No! They just took the mission."

Eric shook his head. His magic can listen to the heart, but it cannot explore memories. Unless they are verbally guided to think of the answer to that question, they cannot hear it!

"If you care that much, why don't you just follow me and take a look?"

Kira comfortably soaked herself in the hot spring again: "Do you know the difference between the boss and the younger brother?"

"The people on the other side have already been doing this kind of thing!"
